Features: The quality and quantity of colored glaze porcelain in the collection of the Palace Museum are unparalleled in world museums, with a total collection of over 100,000 pieces, featuring the most comprehensive variety. The majority of these pieces are former imperial collections from the Qing Court. Many types of colored glaze porcelain were specifically fired for the royal family, and such collections are concentrated within the palace, making them rarely found in circulation outside. Rare treasures are even harder to come by. This volume is the first to comprehensively and systematically showcase the colored glaze treasures of the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties held by the Palace Museum, featuring dozens of types. Organized by glaze color and arranged chronologically, readers can use this volume to understand the various types of colored glaze and their developmental lineage. It is believed that this volume will serve as a valuable resource for ceramic researchers and enthusiasts.
